Lentil Soup

Anyone have a good recipe for Lentil Soup?  I've NEVER made it, but bought lentils for a sewing project and only used about 1/2 cup.  Now I need to do something with the rest of them.  Would appreciate your help.

There are a million possible lentil soup recipes.  Generally you can add lentils and any favorite soup.  For a recipe, this one is pretty easy: Curried Red Lentil Soup. 

You also might consider making a Lentil Dal: the "mashed potato" of Indian cooking.

You do NOT need red lentils (as opposed to some other variety) for the recipes.

Thanks, I have never made it before, but I looked on Allrecipes.com (a favorite site of mine) and after reading the recipe I realize that it is already weight loss friendly.  My husband doesn't like curry, so that's out.  I made the lentil soup and it turned out just wonderful. 
Thanks for sending me this recipe tho.  I may just make it for myself!
